Hello to all, A update from my side😃 1) of corypantha :- As long as pereskiopsis is working i am not degrafting it.

I recently got tons of seeds (from MG, Succseed and some local stores in India) of Melocactus and Discocactus. I don't think I will be able to sow all of them at the same time.

Yes it grow good,
I want Dragon fruit & i don't know how much time will it take for it to mature & give fruit so i thought of grafting it . I also have seen someone fb post so i thought of asking here about it.

A update on Graft 1) cactus on monacantha peres. IMG_20210507_49722.jpg Its side pup are strongly attach to it like they are one IMG_20210507_47903.jpg IMG_20210507_47350.jpg May be it is cause by monstrose effect IMG_20210507_1117.jpg Now, I am trying to see how well these monstrose pup will do on ...

Here is dragon fruit plant And i doubt it ,but it should be Acanthocereus tetragonus according to me So what will be result of grafting dragon plant on A.tetragonus & on which cactus grafting dragon fruit plant is beneficial??

Then i will root 1 Monstrose pup in growing season

Mammillaria longimamma root system is not good + slow growth and can die easily when over watered or in rainy season. Due to all this i tried grafting it . If Carbo has succeeded then I guess i will try to graft again in summer season

And about those 2 monstrose Pup should i let them on mother plant(but they will be getting less energy & slow growth due to so many Pup on cactus around 20 pup on it)
or put in soil (to see how they do on their on root)???

Ok, then i think it is same for oxygona and it is not grafted cactus

Not big Mammillaria but pups which are on its side,
pic is given for reference

To see how much other species are susceptible i have graft two more different cactus on monacantha peres but due to winter they are now dormant. There is also one more cactus i have, but not able to graft it on other( It has never fuse with other) Red Bunny ear cactus on monacantha Peres IMG_2020122...
